I had no real problems upgrading to kde2.2.2 after I found that going to the KDE ftp site and getting the 2.2.2 rpms was a better idea than getting the 2.2.2 rpms off of a cooker mirror as I had originally tried. I just recently did a new hd install of 8.1, after having 7.2 in place for nearly a year :). The download did take a while, even though I have DSL. But I had already installed KDE from 8.1, so the upgrade wasn't all that hard -- doing it manually though. One just has to install or upgrade the components in the proper order, and it helps to install or upgrade the dependents (such as libraries) first before upgrading the other components, and to install the base and devel packages together (or you get mutual dependency problems). I even did some upgrading via the package manager (uprmi or whatever it's called.) It's n ok tool but I still see issues with dependencies (you d/l a package, find out that it needs something else, so you go and d/l that too ad infinitum). And in one instance it gobbled up all my RAM and nearly all my swap (256m/300+ of swap) :(. And I'm (finally) convering my filesystems to reiserfs :) > Grant
